Letter: Laws on the books for our protection

After the tragedy in Dayton and calls to "Do something" I think it is important that those calling for a red-flag law should read and understand ORC 5122.10/5122.17, which covers emergency hospitalization as a start. and then go to ORC 2923.13 which defines firearms ownership disqualifications and finish with ORC 2919.26/3113.31 and 2903.214 for the law on protection orders.

This may help them understand that we already have laws in place that are stronger than a so called red-flag law. These just need to be used and enforced.
